There is a range of 0.2 to 0.4 ccs, but it may be more or less for some individuals. Ask your physician with whom your consulting to tell you what you need.

A: Use fillers around the eyes sparingly

David Shafer, MD

 It is important to use fillers around the eyes sparingly as over-correction can look awful.  In most cases 0.5 cc (half syringe) is good for each side.  However, each patient is different and the amount should not be determined without examining you.  

A: Surprisingly little

Robert W. Kessler, MD

Restylane is my preferred filler for the tear trough area. It is soft moldable and lasts about a year. I typically will use about 0.3- 0.5 cc per side depending on how much of a correction is necessary. More can always be placed at a later date.I do not believe in the semipermanent fillers in this area. If you... more

A: It very much depends on the under eye hollow

Kenneth D. Steinsapir, MD

Dear Oulipo Tear trough hollows vary quite a bit. The amount of filler need also varies. Most patients need significant volume under the eyes.

A: Restylane for infraorbital hollowness

Brent Moelleken, MD

Restylane has become the filler of choice for the lower eye area for long lasting correction. Juvederm and Hydrelle simply have too much hyaluronic acid content and are at risk for swelling. For patients contemplating their first injection we usually recommend Prevelle, which does not last as long but also... more

A: Typically? About 0.2 cc.

Mary Lupo, MD

These questions are really tough since there can be a wide range to the severity of the defect and the amount needed to correct. That said, I usually start with 0.2 cc each side and work from there. You do NOT want over correction in this area.

Michael A. Persky, MD

Hi O, The amount of Restylane typically required to fill the lower eye lid hollow varies depending upon the individual patient.  I find that between 0.3 cc to 0.5 cc per side is used in the majority of patients.  I do not use more that 0.5 cc per side at one visit.  If that is not enough, more... more
